Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 You need 5 mg HC pills to get the 7.5 and 2.5 doses. Your temps need to AVERAGE 98.6, so one temp of 98.6 won't matter. It is high averaged temps (higher than 98.6) (take them 3 x/day and then get the average) and high pulse that means hyper. You started right off on 25 mcg t3? Did you read the FAQ page by Nick? I don't think you are supposed to start that high, especially if your adrenals were bad off enough you also need HC. Kathleen > > > > Started HC and T3 yesterday.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Did you start from scratch or from Natural Thyroid? If starting from scratch, " A suggested starting dose is 12.5 per day split into 2 doses. " from Moderator Nick's website: http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/starting.htm It is not recommended to start HC and T3 together. It is usually recommended to get the adrenals in better shape (HC) before starting the T3. " Please read...BEFORE starting T3.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I use cream for 2.5 mg HC dosages. Heidi My HC comes in 20 mg tablets, so I am quartering the tablets into 5 mg.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I half the 5 mg pills for 2.5 and you can 7.5 from there. But unforutnately, the 5 mg HC are impossible to halve. They are not scored and refuse to split evenly even with a pill cutter. Luckily, I have a rx for some 5 mg, so I am using those just for making 2.5 mg pills.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I have been on Isocort (4-3-2-1) and 1 grain Naturethroid for 6 months. I did read Nicks website but had a phone consult with . I must have misunderstood her regarding dosage and I didn't realize I shouldn't start together. I am just so anxious to get off the T4. I bumped down to 12.5 today and felt pretty good. I guess now I am not sure what to do. Should I get off T3 for awhile or can I just monitor my pulse and temps. Pulse has been below 90 and my temps have been 98.6 or lower.
